Iregular broxton hicks, pressure and back pain

Hi Ladies,

I'm assuming that what I am feeling is normal and caused by bubs sitting low, however I did not get any of this with DD so thought I would check with you lovely ladies.

I have had pressure and a bruised feeling since Tuesday afternoon, not painful but achy especially if I get up or roll over. This morning for about an hour I was having irregular braxton hicks, between 5 and 15 mins apart. these were also accompanied by back pain and what felt like menstrual cramping. I sat down for a while and felt better. This afternoon however as soon as I started walking around again it all started again. so for the past two hours I have had the same symptoms. I have now had a shower and sat down and the contractions seem to have eased off. Just the back pain and pressure remain.

Sorry for the long explanation but does this all sound normal?

I probably would maybe call your hospital to get it checked.

the pressure sounds like mine
i assume your talking about the groin area???
i didnt get it with my first 2 but have had pain for weeks
it could be as bubs moved lower its pinched a nerve
ive just started seeing a physio for some pain relief

if youve got the same issue they really cant FIX it but can ease discomfort
what ever treatment you choose make sure they are qualified in pregnancy xoxo

PS very very few woman feel BH pains in first pregnancys i had them alot towards to the end with my 2nd
mention it at your next appt but if it gets worse or doesnt let up or anything changes call your hosp xoxo

I too have had a similar thing going on, i find if I do any exercise it starts up. My ob seemed to think it was normal especially in the afternoon when your body is tired. If your worried speak to hospital. Good luck
